The Witches' Rune


Darksome night and shining moon,
Harken to the Witches' Rune.
East, then south, west, then north,
Here come I, to call ye forth

Earth and water, air and fire,
Work ye unto my desire.
Wand and Pentacle and Sword
Harken ye unto my word.

Cords and Censer, Scourge and Knife
Waken all ye into life
Power of the Witch's blade
Come ye as the charm is made

Queen of Heaven, Queen of Hell
Lend your aid unto the spell
Horned Hunter of the Night
Work my will by magic rite

By all the power of land and sea
As I do will, so mote it be
By all the might of moon and sun
Chant the spell and be it done
